Quite often people are in places like a bar room brawl, a rain storm or even a war zone and they wish they could take crucial phone calls. After all, it could be an important caller letting you know for example that your Blackberry service is down.

Until now, when you were in such situations, you were out of luck... You had to let the call go into voicemail and catch it a bit later.

Thankfully, Plantronics has helped us solve this problem with the introduction of the Explorer 370, a headset that is designed to meet US military standards.

The Explorer 370 is certified to MIL-STD 810 standards issued by the United States Army's Developmental Test Command to prove that equipment qualified to the standard will survive in the field.

So what's my take? This is a great move for Plantronics as there are some heavy headset users who break these devices and as the 370 is water resistant, you can now comfortably talk in the rain. This is great news for people who want to be in touch at all times and they happen to spend a good deal of time outdoors.
